    February 28, 1980 Source: The Province, February 28, 1980. Details: February 28, three avalanches closed the Salmo to Creston section of Highway 3. Highway maintenance crews hoped to reopen the highway on February 28. Traffic over the Rogers Pass section of the Trans-Canada Highway was also delayed by avalanche stabilisation work. March 1980 Source: Campbell River Courier-Islander, February 16, 2007. Details: In March, a section of bank let loose, slamming into what was then called the Island Inn Motel and causing extensive damage. March 12, 1980 Source: Campbell River Courier, March 14, 1980; The Campbell River and area Mirror, March 19, 1980. Details: Starting 10 p.m. on March 12, southeast winds caused power outages between Courtenay-Kelsy Bay, including Quadra Island. The Campbell River airport recorded winds as high as 80 km/h. A heavy blanket of wet snow compounded the problem. In the Black Creek and Campbell River area, about 11 cm of snow fell, while the Campbell River airport received 30 cm. At Campbell River’s Tyee Spit, some floatplanes sank under the weight of the snow. A large helicopter was used to raise two of the aircraft. Early June 1980 Source: Victoria Times, June 6, 1980. Details: In early June, heavy rains caused several mud- and debris slides about 25 km north of Lytton. On June 6, this section of the Trans-Canada Highway reopened to one lane traffic.
